A ratchet system easily raises and lowers the bottom canvas support and supply tray, and the easel adjusts to tilt forward for pastelists, and backwards for comfortable painting angles or to avoid glare— making it the perfect support for art in most media! And of course, the mahogany stain finish makes an elegant presentation in any art studio. Step up to the next level in easels with the new SoHo-Urban Artist H-Frame Studio Easel!

Rated 5 out of 5 by twisted mo studio from Excellent easel for the priceAfter putting this together I can see some weaknesses compared to other easels fo this type. However, those cost at least 4 times what this one costs. For the money this is a very nice easel capable of holding a 4 x 5 ft canvas easily. It has nice features. looks nice, and will collapse down completely if you want to store it on a wall, or in a vehicle for a travel need.Yes, the instructions are not very good, some of it you have to figure out. I used the photos on the site to help fill in some of the questions I had from the instructions. If the photos were better on the instructions, would have gone together more easily. If you plan to put the wheels on, do it when you assemble the base (first step). It is much easier at this point. there is a right side and wrong side to most pieces, look at the photos online. The weak spots to me are the canvas holder, the bottom unit has only two 1" screws going into the center mast. I think this would have bolted through, in time I am sure it will fail and I will have to bolt it through. Same for the metal height selector. IT has 4 1/2 in wood screws holding it into the lower canvas carrier. Over time, I am sure these will strip out and a solution need to be made. This carries the weight of the canvas by using a step pattern on the center mast. I think it should have had a better or more beefy attaching point.Still for $100 on sale right now, you cant beat this. If you are on the fence, jump off and buy it. Or wait and get something 4 x more expensive if you can. I am not sorry I bought it, I need to carry large canvases and do not yet have a big enough following for my work to justify the larger expenditure. When I can, I will buy another one and use this as an extra, along with the two aluminum a-frames I have.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Wings from Great Easel!This easel is awesome . . very good quality, sturdy, love the fact that it holds flat to store under a bed when not in use and that it holds a canvas up to 71" high. Extremely easy to raise or lower canvas while working on it. The wheels make it easy to move a painting in progress without having to touch the canvas.

Rated 5 out of 5 by CDartmuse from Great easel, great company to buy it fromStrong and sturdy easel, its holding a large wood panel painting that I am working on with no issue. I am very pleased with my purchase. I will also say, the easel purchase came with one small issue, I contacted the customer service via email and they responded within the hour with the best customer service I've seen in years! I was so pleased. This is not only a good easel but a great company to purchase from. I will shop again and again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Basement Artist from My first easel and a definite keeperThis is my first easel. My sister bought it for me for Christmas and I couldn't be more pleased. I wanted to own an easel as I was tired of sitting on the floor when I drew or painted and leaning my paper or canvas awkwardly against the wall. I wanted something that would be durable and stable enough for agressive palette knife work and adjustable for a variety of sizes of canvas or wood. I recently began painting on wood and I have fallen in love with it, so I needed an easel that would be strong enough to support some fairly heavy pieces of wood. This easel has been just what I wanted. It was easy enough to assemble, although the instructions were a bit confusing in some areas. It comes with everything you need to assemble, including a screwdriver, which was very nice. It can hold my biggest painting, which is about a 40" by 30", and can definitely go much bigger. The angle of the easel adjusts with ease. It comes with optional wheels if you would want to move it around. I don't, so I just left them off. Overall, the construction and features are just what I want. I haven't tried painting on it yet. (I'm still just admiring it. I don't have the heart to get paint on it yet.) However, I have tried pushing on it to see how stable it will be when I do start painting, and it didn't disappoint. I didn't move or wobble at all. I'm very pleased, and I would definitely recommend this to anyone.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Murfee from michigan from Great deal!This was a fantastic buy for 100 dollars. Could easily have been $300! My husband put it together for me . I got just so far and couldn't figure it out. Easy to use and for the biggest paintings, 54x54.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Kris from Really great easelReally great product. Looks fantastic and wasn't that difficult to assemble. My only critique would have been clearer directions for assembling. I'm one of those "I can figure it out" kind of people and I even assembled and unassembled a time or 2 b/c I realized I did something incorrect. It came with great tools though, even a nice screw driver. I'm used to things requiring assembling coming with the cheapest tools possible, but not this. I would recommend this easel to anyone not only looking for a quality easel, but also someone that plans to put it in a visual spot of their home. It looks fantastic.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Rusty from The Greatest!!!I have been making do with table-top easels for years. Now that I have the h-frame studio easel, I can paint larger canvases as well as the smaller size I'm used to. The new easel has inspired me so much that in the short time I've had it, I sold 2 paintings and have commissions for 3 more. I paint in a very small studio, a section pieced from my dining room, actually. The easel doesn't take up very much space. It's footprint is quite small when one considers the large canvases it can hold. It is also easy to move around, allowing me to turn it to catch the moving sunlight without a lot of strain and effort. My only complaint is that the instructions for putting it together were on the skimpy side. The barrel screws are visible. They should have been installed on the back side, but I won't take it apart just for that. I only wish the instructions had warned me ahead of time. Despite that, I did manage to put it together all by myself, and I plan to enjoy this easel for a long, long time.

Rated 5 out of 5 by lajtd from Love this easel! Definitly buy againI have used a tripod and field easel and this H frame is far more sturdy and holds my large canvas without a problem. The mast raises and lowers easily even with the larger canvas on board. I chose to leave the wheels off because I have hard wood floors and just applied slider pads. Works great.
